I prefer to call it classic/golden era hip-hop. Most notorious for the 16th triplet swing DJ Premier still embodies to this day (not to say he invented it).
"Boom bap" directly translates to "kick snare" music. I believe that the boom-bap tradition was effectively brought into the 21st century by producers such as, but not limited to, J Dilla, Black Milk, Nottz, 9th Wonder, The Alchemist, Danger Mouse, Kanye West and DJ Khalil.
Hip-hop, by nature, is evolution. We eat good and shit gold.
@raidkridley boom bap is like early 90s shit, pete rock, dj premier, buckwild etc., drums with swing and groove. araab muziks drums are like the antithesis of boom bap.
@raidkridley no where did i mention dilla nottz or 9th wonder. they arent boom bap either (nottz and dilla especially have some swing to their shit dont get me wrong). boom bap is a strictly early 90s thing. this all my opinion though, "boom bap" isnt like a subgenre its just some phrase that popped up somewhere. i personally do believe quantization and timing do affect whether something is "boom bap" or not. you dont, so theres no point arguing.
@encdee i bleed boom bap, but gotta give arab credit for these type of tracks...he was innovative in bringing electronic flips to the table in the hiphop scene...i cant help but give a dude props for bringing something new in a genre where everything has been done pretty much. he has some crack boom bap style stuff that hasnt been released too..who knows if it ever will
beat is MUD. fuck the haters.

if Araab aint boom bap... I don't know what is
his drums are crack, you just got a problem with the style
I can understand not appreciating the excessive reverb and cymbals, but to say it isn't boom bap is to be straight ignorant

@constrobuz
I don't care if it's 16th triplets or 32nd triplets, it's still boom bap.
Differing styles of quantization and timing do not take away from the boom and the bap.
Believe me, I love Dilla, Nottz and 9th wonder as much as you, but you can't tell me 32nd notes aren't boom bap. You can't.
